America totally fucks everything up, I saw that coming a mile away.

[(Anonymous)]

That is a gorgeous icon.

I'm having a really hard time articulating why this secret bothers me, but it really does.

Like, sorry your country isn't a major imperial power anymore, Britain, I know you long for those halcyon days when you ruled over literally everything and glorify them, and shit on America for taking your place. I don't know, I'm being irrational about this, but there's something about the cheapness of the anti-Americanism, coming from a Brit, that really does bother me. The glories of the British empire were not that glorious.

Sorry to (probably) make this into a dumb politics discussion. But that's my honest response to this secret: I feel like OP's anti-Americanism is ill-informed and gratuitous at best.

[(Anonymous)]

You're assuming that in order to be anti-American, a person has to be pro-Empire which, um, no. They really, really don't.

[(Anonymous)]

I don't have a problem with Anti-American sentiments, but I always find it funny that the soft Cultural Imperialism that America engages in constantly is like a shadow play of what Britain did for centuries. You Brits are all right, tho:) *goes to see if new QI episode is on youtube yet*

[mentalguru]

Yeeeaaaah, I feel pretty skeeved if people think the british empire was 'glorious' and hell I'm from N.Ireland and have a british passport (I'm about as patriotic as a... not very patriotic thing in this case but whatever).

America is far from perfect but I somehow doubt the answer is to put it under british rule again. That's just creepy to me as an idea. Also laughably impossible anyway.

[(Anonymous)]

*wonders if you are the same anon bothered by the flag code being broken from yesterday*

[(Anonymous)]

Anyone who thinks the British were good people back then needs to get a clue. There's a reason so many of its colonies rebelled: the British were fucking dicks and still are to an extent. The US hasn't been all that great, either, but we're trying and we don't look at a horrifically bloody, racist, and xenophobic time as the high point of our history.

[(Anonymous)]

Haven't seen the series yet-do you mean that Britain has control of the zombie situation?

Is this series worth watching? From the secret it sounds like I might like it, as to me, "good" zombie fiction focuses on society coping with the problem, and how it adapts. Stuff like 28 days/weeks.

[(Anonymous)]

If you find pointless panty, boob, and ass shots funny then you should watch it. Really, it was pretty awful. There's a point where the guy straps a gun to one of the girl's breasts to stop shock or something. Do you know how much that would fucking hurt? Ugh.

[insanenoodlyguy]

From what I recall, London retained control. Not all of Britain, just London.

How much you wanna bet they were all fucked anyway once the rest of the country swarmed em?

[hwc]

IMO it's pretty good, though the excess of fanservice really bothered me after a while. By which I mean, skeeved me out since the first episode. I don't mind fanservice in and off itself, but HotD really amped it up to eleven. I heard that the fanservice is supposed to be ~ironic or satirical or something, in which case the people in charge seriously missed their mark. I had to first forward most scenes with the nurse, because holy crap, talk about skeevy and disturbing as hell.

Which is a shame, because as I said, other than the fanservice I thought it was really good. The things they did had consequences, like the the time when the main character had to rest the gun on his friend's breasts which an anon mentioned above. IIRC he had to rest it on her because the gun was strapped to her and she couldn't move because she had been thrown off a moving car. Afterwards she spent a lot of time bed-ridden because she couldn't move.

[childings.livejournal.com]

It's a reallllly entertaining survival horror anime with great characters but unfortunately a lot of ridiculous (like, not even physically possible) fanservice. If you can overlook the fanservice, you'll enjoy it.

[(Anonymous)]

Oh joy. My daily shot of Anti-America. Thank you, OP.

[(Anonymous)]

Oh, but it's totally cool to shit on the US, didn't you know? We haven't contributed anything worthwhile to the world. It's not like half the secrets on here are about American fandoms or anything.

[insanenoodlyguy]

Eh, zombie apocalypse. Give it a month, everybody is fucked beyond repair of government. Everybody.

oh goody america bashing

happy 17th birthday

[ariakas]

But America-bashing is so cliche now.

And hilarious, coming from the British, lol.

[iggy]

lol forever at Brits bashing America.

[streetcake]

Joining in the chorus of loling at the Brit bashing America.

(sorry)

[mekkio]

I have to watch this anime just to see how the Brits were able to do that because that has to be some sort of magic. I can see UK ruling the world a hundred years ago when they had the superior military and tactical force. But now, the playing field has leveled off.

It's more, "We have come to invade your land and take your country-oh, you have guns too. And a larger, more well stocked military force? And five times the population as ours? ...how about we trade your land for these seashells instead? Right?"

as an Australian...
